ISLAMABAD: Seems like the trouble in paradise is over! In a ‘kind of’ shocking turn of events, all the drama surrounding British boxer Amir Khan and wife Faryal Makhdoom has been put to rest – and this time the news comes directly from the horse’s mouth. Amir, has officially broken the news on his instagram account, stating that he’s back with his “4 month pregnant wife, after sorting out all the issues. Closing the year with a happy ending”. He posted a picture with the official patch-up revelation – which featured him with Faryal cuddling together on a couch. After an ugly Twitter row and a surprise pregnancy, Faryal left hints too recently that a possible reconciliation is most certainly on the cards.

Faryal hinted at a brighter future after months of well-documented acrimony. Last month Faryal deleted her pleading apology after the boxer appeared to snub her attempted reconciliation. Faryal posted a lengthy message on Twitter saying it is time for her and Amir to put their ‘differences behind us’.

The businesswoman also apologised for all the ‘infighting’ between herself and Amir parents, which she revealed has had a ‘terrible effect’ on her marriage. But soon afterwards Amir took to Twitter, confirming to fans their divorce would go ahead and wishing her well. Faryal had tweeted the statement of apology to her 180,000 followers just hours after announcing the launch of her own lipstick brand. She went on to add, “My daughter and unborn child do not deserve a broken home. That is why I have decided that it is time to put our differences behind us, and start afresh. All families go through hard times. It is unfortunate for us that our difficulties were played out so publicly. I also apologise for my part in that.”
